This, the most recently discovered species of the genus, is well eharac- 
terised by the stem being narrowly winged below, by the small white corolla 
with its seales shortly exserted, and by the calyx being divided scarcely to 
the middle. It is easily distinguished from sS. oltomanum, Friv., which is a 
shorter, more slender plant, with denser, longer hairs, smaller leaves, deeply 
divided calyx, and longer corolla-scales.
